[QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 3045589, member: 27"]
I am not lawyer but looking at the document, it appears to me that UConn signed off all Tier 3 rights to all sports except football to the Big East as well.

But there is a clause that could allow UConn to sell their basketball Tier 3 rights, presumably to SNY.

[I]The Conference will exclusively represent each of the Members with respect to the sale, licensing, distribution and other exploitation of the Media Rights and all matters related thereto, except, in each case, to the extent that the rules of the Conference expressly permit the Member to retain for itself or to the extent the Board votes to return other rights to the Members or to grant any other person or entity a license to exploit certain specified Media Rights; (emphasis mine)[/I]

So while they didn’t give them explicit permission to work with SNY on this, there is language in the contract that could permit it.  I assume that paragraph was added specifically to allow UConn to sell their Tier 3 basketball content to SNY.

Any lawyer able to confirm this?
